Barksdale: My goal is to start

Barksdale was the second of two third-round picks by the Raiders, No. 92 overall, out of LSU.

He will likely be a competitor at right tackle, a wide open position in that Mario Henderson, Khalif Barnes and Langston Walker are currently not under contract.

Barksdale said he’s not overly concerned about money in the wake of a lockout which is preventing him from signing a contract.

“I don’t spend a lot of money,” Barksdale said. “I never had a lot of money. Maybe five dollars in my pocket and that’s it. You give someone who never had candy before some fat-free twizzlers and they’re good.

“I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I need money for gas to see my girlfriend (in East Lansing). My hobbies are simple. I have an IPOD, a MacBook. The MacBook is starting to run my life. And I listen to music and play video games.”

The more I think about it the more obvious it is. The kings mom hozilla, must be forcing Bosch to be her manho.

That would explain the vacant look in his eyes.

I don’t know guys…Dallas did what they had to do last 2 games, and came 2 points shy of a finsih in Dallas (had they made a shot with 30 plus seconds left after Bosh’s jumper). They have to win in Miami on Sunday, or adantage Heat! But if JJ Punka** Barrera and Jason Terry keeps hitting…unless Wade takes over…it is over!

G’morning fellas.

Lol. You guys are killing me. Is this the NBA or As the World turns?

First it was Kobe and the Lakers chance at a threepeat derailed by the “The Real Housewives of Los Angeles”.
Rumors of cheating, snitching and homewrecking.

Now the Heatles launch of a dynasty has been stalled because Lebron’s cougar mom has sunk her claws into a teammate and distracted “The King”. Too funny.

Next up on Inside Edition….NBA version.lol.

Sensationalism and tabloid journalism run amok. Unfortunately it’s all probably sad, but true.

So what is the darn deal with football? Season or no season? Can we get Howie Mandell to intervene?

Hwnrdr,

The latest is that the commish and D Smith were spotted dining together after yesterday’s meetings, which was described by witnesses as “jovial”. How’s that for some rumor mongering?

Hopefully, that’s a good sign. maybe there has been a thaw in the ice, and these guys are close to getting something done.

Both judges in Minnesota and St Louis have tried to nudge both sides into getting a deal done on their own. Hopefully they realize they are running out of time if there is to be a season with some sort of training camp and free agency.
